2015 Ford Mustang giveaway

About the Detroit auto show

To liven up the crowds filtering through the Blue Oval display, Ford decided to spice things up a bit—for the kids, that is.

The 2015 Mustang freebie is a model kit that provides a hands-on approach to the latest model 'Stang. The kit comes with a molded subframe featuring slots to allow for the axle configuration, a molded dash and steering column and a shiny, red body. Luckily, no glue is required, so with a few easy snaps, the car comes together in minutes.

For us, this is a flashback to dealership promotional models given to enchant potential buyers from as far back as the 50s and the Chevy Bel Air era. And many of these models are highly collectable today.

So, if you can get out to the Detroit auto show this week, we highly recommend searching for one of these collectable auto show-edition kits. It might not crank out serious horsepower, but it sure makes a great addition to any model collection.
